In this work fibre metal laminates (FML) consisting of glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) with solid and permeable metal sheets are manufactured by vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM). The results are composites of high quality without void imperfection. In the next step, the composites are investigated by quasi-static pin-loaded bearing tests. The bearing strain is measured by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The experimental bearing responses are compared whereas hybrids demonstrate a more ductile fracture behaviour and higher bearing strength in contrast to the conventional GFRP. The perforated metal sheet demonstrates a higher resistance against delamination compared to the solid metal sheet, which leads to a higher residual strength of this hybrid composite. Furthermore, it yields to a weight reduction compared to the solid metal sheet.
